Hi Bev, well I had one but it was many years ago! I believe it was 1990. I think now a days depending on just what your problem is, they can do the suction thingy so it's not so hard on you. Others that have had one more recently can probably tell you more.

I would say though if it is something causing you a lot of pain and you feel it is necessary, (and trust your doctor) then you might consider it. The decision is yours in the end. Good luck and keep us posted!

Bev it is not like it use to be, really! I had one too, a complete hysterectomy. The recovery time is short and the pain minimum and non existent if you take the pain pills the first few days like you are supposed to! Really sis, it's not like it use to be. No surgery is looked forward to, but you dont need overly concerned. Cheesh, I dont want to make light of you needing surgery.. I hope you get my drift.. (hugs) dear friend..

Well I had one a few years ago and all went well. They were able to 'suck' everything out and I actually went home the next day. Recovery is a lot shorter then when they have to cut you open. As Jeanine mentioned, if you are in a lot of pain or having other problems and you have a good doctor then I would have it done. Of course in the end in is entirely up to you! Wish you well!

Thank you ladies for your kind words. After talking with my Dr. again it seems that I can have the non surgical one where they go in with the scope and such it out (that does sound weird!). She said I would probably go home the next day if all goes well. So, I'm thinking I will have it done but probably in a couple months because I have so much going on right now. Will keep you posted!
